For the L o n g e s t time I have wanted jeans with holes in them. I know they are for younger girls, twenty-somethings and thirty-cuties with good figures.

I am none of these.

I still have wanted some. I've gone up to complete strangers to ask them
"Who does your hair? and Where did you get your jeans?"

Most say, "I got them at Gap two years ago, etc. etc."

Last week, I had lunch with Queen B and forced asked nicely if she would take me in a teen-age store to look for some jeans.

They thought I was looking for The Princess until I told them a size.
The guy waiting on me--blinked once, and recovered nicely and said, "I'll see what we have in the back."

I think he went back there to laugh himself silly.

He eventually came back with a couple for me to try on. They were WAY too long but since this store does alterations, I felt like they would be great.

I wanted to leave them to be fixed, but the guy said they would shrink in the length and I might want to wash them first.

Okay.

Next scene. Beachy Mimi washing jeans immediately.

OMGosh. They shrunk. ALL OVER.

I put them on and the waistband didn't even cover the essentials. I'm not talking about the back essentials...THE FRONT ESSENTIALS.

I just collapsed in a heap.

I was trying to crawl under the bed to suck my thumb when Mr. Semi-Wonderful (not quite over the non-sympathy of the tooth. Just a few more days and I will be) walked in the bedroom and said, "What's wrong?"

The person installing the new look has a power outage and therefore is at the mercy of the ELECTRIC COMPANY!

As soon as...the power returns she will
1. feed her children and/or pets
2. Vacuum--we all know how we hate it when we lose power and can't vac.
3. do laundry--it's ALIVE and GROWS
4. put up the Christmas tree--she has been busy working on my blog,
5. go get a mani/pedi
6. add a massage to that. The shoulders just ACHE from too much computer time
7 drink lots of hot coffee or (in my case) cokes
8. eat a cookie
9. nap
10. The Big Reveal!!
